Stripped the box down bare, then sanded to rough up the surface and remove high spots, then primed and sanded again. I spend more time, this time around, to make the box better than it was done the first time.

This is my 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS and the second Monte Carlo SS I have owned. I found this car in Ohio and purchased in October of 2010. Power comes from GM's 5.3L LS4 small block V8. The car is lowered and rides on Bilstein HD Series struts. Obviously I have done some modifications to the car since purchase but I love the stock look of these cars so my modifications have been subtle to compliment the originality of the car.

Front (top) and rear caliper brackets and calipers painted and remounted with new ACDelco performance pads. Both front and rear calipers and caliper brackets got three light coats of Dupli-Color's black caliper paint. Doing that, it took about one and a half of their spray cans to get the four brackets and four calipers painted.

5.3L (327 c.i.) LS4 small block V8 with its custom painted cover. 303 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 323 ft. lb. of torque at 4,600 rpm. Aluminum block, 3.78" bore and 3.622" stroke. Multi-point injection system. Displacement on Demand four cylinder shutdown during cruise. The engine is paired with GM's Hydra-Matic 4T65-E four-speed automatic transmission. An enhanced version of the trans is used in the SS model to match the V8's higher torque output.
